The humanitarian corridor for Mariupol residents was opened on April 20. People were to be taken away by buses. However, the evacuation did not go as planned. Only 4 buses left.
And the evacuation from the city of Mariupol scheduled for April 21 could not take place due to shelling near the gathering point. There are no corridors again on April 22 .
Ukraine demands from Russia an urgent humanitarian corridor from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol, which is estimated to house about a thousand civilians and Ukrainian defenders, including about 500 wounded.
The city has been under siege by the occupiers since the beginning of March. It is estimated that more than 100,000 people may still be there.
